After opening the 2022 campaign in the independent Atlantic League of Professional Baseball with the Long Island Ducks, Marrero resurfaced in affiliated ball with the Mets, who signed him to a minor-league deal in late June. He was added to the Mets' active roster on two separate occasions but served as a depth player in the infield, appearing in just five games and going hitless across six at-bats. The 32-year-old journeyman isn't likely to command anything more than a minor-league deal in free agency this winter.
